MRI after a PET CT Scan

I had a CT Scan on the 4th March which detected a small suspicious nodule on my lung, 1 year surveillance from curative LAR for colon cancer.  I then had a PET CT Scan last week.  Today I have had a call to book in for an MRI Scan.  I am just wondering if this is normal to have an MRI also?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    It's not unusual for a doctor to request another different scan, as the various images taken do provide extra clinical information for them. Often no single scan can provide all the details, so doctors increasingly want other types of scans to compare them together. 

    Hope this helps, 

    Best wishes,
